Federal lawmakers want the Trudeau government to convene an emergency summit on Islamophobia.
In the House of Commons today, MPs unanimously passed an NDP motion demanding the gathering in the wake of Sunday's deadly attack against a Muslim family in London, Ontario.
The motion calls for the summit by the end of July.
Police allege the London attack, which saw four family members run down and killed on Sunday night, was a planned act that targeted Muslims.
A 20 year old man faces four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.
